ADO dispute

Postedon September 3, 2019

I am a registered nurse working in a public hospital. Where is the ADO dispute up to about ADO accruals for those working mixed shifts?

This remaining aspect of the ADO dispute, concerned with those employees working mixed shift lengths who do not have their ADOs appropriately calculated within StaffLink, is nearing conclusion. HealthShare and eHealth are overseeing the changes required in StaffLink and following testing, it is hoped that the new functionality will be available later this year.

In the interim, those working mixed shifts should continue to have an ADO allocated per-roster period, regardless of any stated negative balance, consistent with the recommendation of the IRC of NSW, until the new functionality comes on line, and audits previous ADO calculations and ensures they are suitably calculated prospectively. Those employees working mixed shifts should not be subject to any attempt to recover alleged ADO debits in the interim, and certainly not until the new StaffLink functionality comes on line.
